Daddy, your presence has always been deeply rooted within our core. Your love for us has always been felt no matter how far we've traveled. The lessons of life passed on to us will be blessed upon to your grandchildren and precious memories shared

We love you with all of our being and appreciate the gift of having you as our father.

************************

Bug, I will never forget the numerous phone calls that we’ve shared, and our many ‘agree to disagree’ conversations. Now when the telephone rings, it saddens my heart to know that your voice will not be heard on the other end, and to hear you getting upset because you couldn’t reach me.

Love Baby Ruth

The Door that Never Closes

There’s a door that never closes though it opens but one way

It’s the door that leads to Heaven at the end of life’s long day.

It’s the threshold of forever where the heart is always glad

It’s a respite for the weary, and a comfort for the sad.

It’s the door to peace and healing and the door to joy and grace

Where the Master greets each guest by name and with a warm embrace.

And the loved ones who pass through into the light that’s shining there

Find a sweet and perfect home within our Father’s loving care.
